Sharon hired The Reel Hoosewives Ceilidh Band for a Private event (available in Highlands and Islands)

Verified Review, 25 October 2025

"They were genuinely fantastic. Excellent caller with good humour when the entire party were utterly rubbish ha! Vocals were sensational - fantastic cover of pink pony club! All round made the night. Super flexible. Read the room with an excellent DJ set right to the end. "

Samantha hired The Brogues for a Wedding (available in Highlands and Islands)

Verified Review, 20 September 2025

"A great band of musicians! They are friendly and easy-going. I felt they handled the majority non-Scottish / international (and therefore largely clueless) dancers very well, with just the right balance between direction and letting them have a little chaotic fun - everyone I spoke to afterwards said they had a great time. The highlight of our event. Well done!"
